I have lived through governments led by Clem Attlee , Winston Churchill , Anthony Eden , Harold Macmillan , Sir Alec Douglas Home , Harold Wilson , Ted Heath , Jim Callaghan , Margaret Thatcher , John Major , Tony Blair , Gordon Brown , and David Cameron .
Take a hard look at them . ( I refer to Winston Churchill as a peace-time prime minister ) .
How many of them could we say were full of promise ?
How many made a lasting impact on our country ?
I can only name two , Clem Attlee and Margaret Thatcher . The former for the better , the latter for the worse . The rest were pretty mediocre .
I have little faith in what politicians can achieve .
